In a surprising and thrilling turn of events, Tom Hardy's third outing as the alien-symbiote bonded anti-hero, Venom, will be hitting theaters during the summer for the first time.
Scheduled to hit the screens on July 12, 2024, the as-yet-untitled Venom 3 will be flanked by several other blockbusters like Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King and Universal's Twisters, among others.
Venom's previous chapters, 2018's Venom and 2021's Venom: Let There Be Carnage, launched in October of their respective release years, marking October as a tradition for the franchise. The duo's successful box office performances, which enjoyed a total gross of over $1.3 billion worldwide, set a high bar for the upcoming sequel. Despite the shifting landscape of movie releases due to the ongoing pandemic, Let There Be Carnage raked in $502 million worldwide, exemplifying the franchise's tenacity.
In the director's chair for Venom 3 is Kelly Marcel, stepping up after contributing to the scripts of the past two films. She will team up with Tom Hardy, marking their continued collaboration in the evolution of the character Eddie Brock and his often-grumpy and chocolate-hungry symbiote. This creative change at the helm brings a fresh vision to the franchise and piques curiosity regarding the new direction the series might take.
